The Deep by Rivers Solomon
3.5

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The premise of this book is amazing and I'll be going to listen to the songs it's based on soon. I was intrigued throughout and really enjoyed Yetu's character. I think the world Rivers Solomon has created here is so unique and fascinating and I'd love to learn more about all of it. But this is where my only complaint comes from, I did just want more. Within the number of pages given it works well, but I wish it had been longer so that some of the relationships could have developed more thoroughly and so there was more time to build up to some events. Overall a really worthwhile read though and I'll be picking up more of the authors work!
